On Saturday June 7 2008, Kristian Malmsjö and Pontus Johnsson from Sweden won the 31st Zwitserleven Round Texel Race. Xander Pols and Tjiddo Veenstra (NED) took the line honours for the second year in row. They needed 3 hours, 44 minutes and 44 seconds to steer their M20 around the island. This morning, a fleet of 500 beach catamarans lined up for an impressive and eventful start. The strong current pushed many teams early over the line, but the race committee made a procedure error in the starting sequence. That is why nobody got disqualified, except for Wouter Samama and Paul Buyse (NED). They were the very first finishers, but sailed the wrong course.

Top five overall Zwitserleven Round Texel Race 2008:
SWE - Malmsjö/Johnsson, M20
NED – Van der Meulen/Knol, F18 Capricorn
SWE – Marström/Petersson, M20
FRA – Mourniac/Citeau, F18 Hobie Tiger
FRA – Morvan/Vaireaux, F18
